Reviews of the Alehouse Sessions

These sessions have already been hailed as "irresistible" [The Times], "superb" [The Scotsman] and "fabulously unrestrained" [The Guardian], and they have diverted away from the traditional concert model by "creating the effect of a late night jamming session" [BBC Music Magazine]. This diversion from the traditional concert model is what is at the heart of this evening. Through the medium of these well-loved tunes, a story of the period is interwoven into the music making; creating a unique environment between audience and performer.

“The whole joyous evening was a liberation, carrying us back to a time when the terms 'classical' and 'folk' hadn’t yet been invented, and music was simply music.”-- The Telegraph
